Trying to make script for opening Google Chrome in incognito mode

[Tito]

open -a Google\ Chrome --new --args -incognito

 

Executing that in a terminal command, the problem is the app terminal is shown too.

 

Anybody knows a trick for avoid that?

 

Had an extension for V1 but seems that doesn´t exist for v2.

 

Thanks.

That's easy: 

Use Actions -> Run Script -> paste your code and make sure Language is set to something like /bin/bash or bin/zsh

To expand a bit on what nisbet suggested...

 

1. Create a new Workflow in Alfred

2. Click the + in the top right of the workflow area.

3. For a keyword to trigger click, add Input -> Keyword, for a hotkey, choose Triggers -> Hotkey.

4. Set options for the hotkey or keyword that you added and save.

5. Click the + in the top right again.

6. Choose Actions -> Run Script.

7. Leave the language as /bin/bash, in the script area, enter your script from above and save.

8. Mouse over the hotkey or keyword and a little tab should appear on the right side. Click and drag it to the action. A line should be shown between the two showing that they are connected.

 

After that, you should be ready.

This does not work if Chrome is already open (running in the background).

 

I was under the impression that this workflow would open a new or existing incognito window while Chrome was already running (Since Chrome is usually open in the background almost always.)

 

Does anyone know how can this be altered to make this work?

 

Thanks!

 

According to this website, the applescript to open a new chrome window is below:

 

 

on run {input, parameters}

    tell application "Google Chrome"

        activate

        delay 0.1

        make new window

    end tell

    return input

end run
